Reducing Water Insecurity through Stakeholder Participation in River Basin Management in the Asia-Pacific

Project Summary

This employed a combination of human response options (scientific, engineering, institutional, financial, social, economic) and partnerships (domestic and transboundary), as a powerful tool in good water governance and a precondition for effective policy process towards sustainable development.

This project was highlighted in the APN's Third Strategic Phase (3SP) Evaluation Report because of the following:

Engaged stakeholders from the beginning of the project activities, leading to a conceptual framework incorporating stakeholders from private sector, public and governments on river basin management.

Project activities went beyond the initial objectives and produced tangible outputs for science, policy, private sector and the public

Impacted both research and stakeholder communities through peer-reviewed publications and stakeholder dialogues.

Good example of multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches to global change research
